LBK Auditorium

author event - Montgomery stories of F Scott Fitzgerald

Join us for a special lunchtime presentation by Dr. Kirk Curnutt, executive director of the F. Scott Fitzgerald Society, Board member of the Hemingway Society, and chair of English at Troy University. Dr. Curnutt will share stories from the book All of the Belles: the Montgomery Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald, and more! The heroines of these still remarkable tales rebel against Southern expectations of women, revel in the newfound freedoms young people enjoyed at the outset of the modern age, and ultimately discover that home is far harder to run away from than they ever expected. Feel free to bring your lunch; we will provide drinks and dessert.
